If anyone here has that control, could you look at the PMC board and see if it has ROMs or ROM sockets marked 0E1 and 0E2?
Anyone with a Fanuc 0C look at something for me?

Hmmmm. Looks like you don’t have one. I need to do some more reading. Maybe similar to a 0B in that 0E1 and 0E2 are on the mainboard. Any chance you can see EPROMs on it!?
Well, not important now. Had a line on a 0MC for really cheap but it's gone now. Was thinking for the price it would be a nice upgrade for my Makino. Of course when things are really cheap one should just pull the trigger then sort out the details later.
Hardinge really shoved the control in a shit place on this thing. Hard to get a good picture, sorry.
I have started calling it the SB42 instead of SP42. I feel Shit Box is more suiting than Super Precision.

Thanks for looking. I appreciate it!
Sorry I missed this, as I have one that I could have checked too. Middle of the night here though when you posted!

On my OTc the ladder chips are on the memory card (a3) and I don't see any sockets on the main board without pulling cards and the power supply. Which I would gladly do if you still needed to know.
My OTb basically has the memory card integrated into the main board with the ladder chips being on the main board.
Next time you're in a rush just call me and I would have checked right away and you could have posted the results.
If you're in the market for an Oc control I may have a friend selling one cheap.
Edit: I was thinking PMC board was the main board and not a card. My machine doesn not have a PMC card. Perhaps that's was requirered for one of the larger step number ladders and the ladder got moved from the memory card to the pmc card.
Good to know where the chips are located. I did not see the location on any of my 0C documentation. I did find that the PMC card is only needed when the control is spec'd with PMC-M. PMC-L is the standard and does not require an add-on PMC board.
This all popped when I got a PM from someone on PM. They had seen a complete F0MC control minus display and keypad, 4 axis drives and a spindle drive on ebay for $450 shipped. I wanted to be sure it was not a Mate version, it was a full. It also had the servo card for serial absolute encoders so I had to verify if my differential incremental encoders would work, it does. The final thing was to verify that my PMC EPROMs would work, seems they would as the 0B uses PMC-L.
By the time I felt it was close enough to trying, I checked the ebay listing and it had sold
